Age-old tradition and trendy new haunts come together in an intoxicating blend on the colourful streets of Little India in Singapore.
More than just a district steeped in history, Little India is a feast for the senses, where tradition and novel experiences intermingle in an intoxicating blend.
Formerly home to cattle herders, lime kilns and a race course, this colourful neighbourhood has evolved over the centuries into a beloved destination for locals and travellers alike.
Little India today is one of Singapore’s most vibrant districts, with a fascinating past that stretches back to the 19th century.
Serangoon Road —the historic heart of the district— was once called Soonambu Kamban (Village of Lime in Tamil) for its lime pits. Over the decades, the district evolved into an area of commerce, with rattan works, wheat-grinding sheds and pineapple factories emerging alongside cattle trade.
